Hi All
I have my trusty old DX7 which works fine, well did up until now, the screen is just blank.. it got left on for a day by accident, and worked for a few days after and now no display.. the rest of the radio works fine....

anyone know what this issue could be or anyone know where I can get repaired, I am in New Zealand and there is no places I have found who will touch it..

seems a shame to dump it, for what could be a $5 part to fix, but I need someone who can !!

spending time, paying attention

Hi.. I have other radios, but just a shame that it's all good except screen..I have bought a orangerx for an old jr radio so got round it that way.. but it's probably only a $2 component which bugs me...

Do LCDs fail simply from being left on? Have you looked to see if something isn't detached or poorly seated? Pop the back off and wiggle some things. Does the inside of the radio smell like electricity? Anything showing signs of damage?

I wonder if it's the LCD or if it's something that drives the display. Possibly you could repair it yourself?

"Well, Nothing bad can happen now."

Well I emailed Horizon in the USA and they said it has to go to Horizon Germany, but no matter how many times I email the German site, I get no replies, so thats kinda dead end... nothing smelly nothing loose, all looks as new inside, I just know its going to be some cheap component gone..one hobby shop I spoke to locally said they have a new screen, but not knowing if it is the LCD or a driver etc, I have not gone down that path...
